I think the K3 with per-mode audio equalization (or even not-datamodes equalization), properly implemented memories and an FM Packet mode would hands-down beat anything.<br /><br />The TS-2000 has a feature set that really best fits my requirements, though it&#39;s quite an old design and its receiver on HF isn&#39;t rated very highly. (Having said that, I used one and it seemed OK to me, and it has really nice audio.)<br /><br />The IC-746PRO/IC-7400 would be the other option. But if I went that way I might be inclined to wait for the new IC-9100 to see what that offers.<br /><br />If money were no object then I&#39;d probably go for the IC-7600 and keep my transverter. But their performance and hence cost is overkill for my needs of situation, which the K3 also is really.g4ilohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11984840704237681015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953397841255562532.post-40010411298266723382009-09-18T17:46:12.114+01:002009-09-18T17:46:12.114+01:00Hi Julian,

If not, which rig currently on the market do you think would better fit your needs?<br /><br />73,<br /><br />Mark AI4BJmark.volstadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11766528495650835176noreply@blogger.com
